Fedro vs Overeem would be a cool match at this Stage of their careers

[MescalineDreams]

Continuing the nearly retired fighters matchups

Too bad he's not in the UFC

 

[Calipwnia]

Well said

 

[TheLinguist]

Excellent match up, no doubt it would be fireworks.

 

[ArmenianAssasin]

Overeem destroys fedor at this point

huge difference between fighting washed up out of shape legends and actual contenders

 

[MEAN357]

Overeem would body him.

Absolute crime this fight never happened when Ubereem and Fedor had the aura of invincibility still.

 

[LastBlood]

Overeem bodies fedor now, Ubereem beats prime fedor too.

Absolute crime this fight never happened when Ubereem and Fedor had the aura of invincibility still.

you are one of the new wave of dumb noob Fedor haters that are crawled out of their holes

 

[Istryker]

Overeem would body him.

Lmfao I've been watching fedor fights for more than a decade, ubereem woulda beat him. Theres a reason they avoided that fight like the plague.

Huge fedor fan btw, try harder nut hugger.

 

[AZZA B]

Overeem would absolutely destroy Fedor

 

[Coolkid666]

At this stage, Fedor would bust Reems lip back open

Maybe.

Overeems chin wasn't exactly indestructible tho lol

He lost to bigfoot, Browne and rothwell and won a dead even split decision against werdum when he was uber.

Ubereem could definitely win but it's just as likely a prime fedor cracks that chin.

Against Fedor in strikeforce tho? Prob, but that also wasn't the best fedor.

stop talkin shit, you cant be a fedor fan if you think overeem beats fedor now and in the past too and that he "avoided the fight like the plaque". Only idiots and fedor haters would say that. here is something for you:

Fact #1: Scott Coker wanted to build the Fedor vs. Overeem fight up.

“[Fedor] and Alistair Overeem should be an amazing fight, and people that haven’t seen Alistair, you know, he’s an amazing fighter,” explained Coker during the conversation with the guys (and gal) from TapouT Radio. “I think we should do a couple of fights and build that one up, and then let their champion fight our champion, and let’s see what happens.

“We’re hoping that Alistair will be ready to fight in the Fall, and we can put him on one of the cards with Fedor, and not fight against each other but fight against someone else, and let’s build that fight up”

http://fiveouncesofpain.com/2009/08/04/scott-coker-on-fedor-vs-overeem-lets-build-that-fight-up/

Fact #2: When Fedor fought Rogers, Overeem had not defended his belt in 2 years and was unranked :

Overeem's Strikeforce reign:

-Won the inaugural Strikeforce Heavyweight Championship on November 16 2007.
-First title defense was on May 15 2010

Rankings when Fedor fought Rogers:

http://www.sherdog.com/news/rankings/2/Sherdog-Official-Mixed-Martial-Arts-Rankings-20584

Fact #3: Scott Coker said the winner of Fedor-Rogers fighting the winner of Werdum-Silva “would make sense”:

“You see the matchup potential between the winner of the Silva-Werdum fight and the winner of the Fedor vs. Rogers fight, so I think it would make sense for those two to fight each other depending on how it goes,” said Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker.

http://www.sherdog.com/news/news/Strikeforce-Heavyweight-Winners-May-Meet-Next-20737

Despite Coker’s words, Overeem maintains Fedor declined to fight him and chose Werdum instead:

“It’s about what the people want to see, what the organization wants and what I want,” said Overeem. “That all pointed to Fedor, but he declined to fight me last month in the May 15 show and he’d rather fight Werdum”

http://www.sherdog.com/news/news/Overeem-Fedor-is-Out-of-the-Picture-25352

Fact #4: Fedor was scheduled to fight top ranked Fabricio Werdum before Overeem became top 10:

Fedor vs. Werdum announcement:
http://www.mmamania.com/2010/5/4/1457473/fedor-emelianenko-vs-fabricio

Rankings at the time. Overeem is nowhere to be seen:
http://www.sherdog.com/news/rankings/2/Sherdog-Official-Mixed-Martial-Arts-Rankings-24133

Fact #5: Fedor calls out Overeem BEFORE Overeem announced his decision to compete in the K-1 tournament:

Fedor Emelianenko: “Absolutely, I would like a rematch with Werdum. But as he was recently operated on, then as soon as this fight is unlikely to happen. This year, in November-December, I would prefer to meet in a cage with Alistair Overeem.”

http://www.mixedmartialarts.com/news/fedor-wants-overeem-in-novemberdecember

Fact #6 :Overeem says "no" to Fedor fight and announces he has decided to compete at K-1 instead:

Emelianenko has now said that he would like to fight you by the end of the year. Is that possible at this point?

No, unfortunately not. The reason is because if I enter the Final 16 and win, I will fight the K-1 Final in December. My decision was made because nothing was certain and Strikeforce and M-1 didn't act fast enough when I made my decision to start K-1 training.

http://www.mmafighting.com/2010/08/...ot-interested-in-fedor-fight-decides-to-fight

Despite Overeem saying Strikeforce and M-1 didn't act fast, it took Fedor less than one month and a half to say he wanted to fight Overeem from the time it was announced Werdum was injured. It is not uncommon for UFC fighters to remain over 2 months without being scheduled.

http://www.5thround.com/44157/fedor-emelianenko-will-have-to-wait-fabricio-werdum-out-until-2011/

Fact #7: Overeem claims it was Fedor who declined to fight him (in contradiction of his previous statement):

“We tried to put together the fight against (Fabricio) Werdum, the winner of the Werdum/Fedor fight. Werdum was injured, needed surgery on his elbow, so he was out. Fedor declined to fight me for the second time. At that point, I decided to compete in the K-1 GP because there were no fights for me in Strikeforce and, yeah, basically did that.”

http://www.fightopinion.com/2011/06/16/alistair-overeem-fedor-inactivity/

Fact #8: Fedor entered a tournament in which Overeem would be competing:

http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2011/1/1...ht-tournament-rules-and-conference-call-audio

Fact #9: Drug tests were demanded not just for Overeem, but Barnett and Bigfoot as well. M-1 cites Affliction disaster as the reason:

"Two out of eight fighters in the tournament previously failed a drug test. Obviously, I’m talking about Josh Barnett and Antonio Silva. We want fair competition for everyone, so that’s why I will ask the commission to perform a strict drug testing. Fedor is not using any kind of substance to enhance his performance, and will be ready for any kind of testing. So if the commission decides to follow our suggestion, we’ll be ready.

Our organization paid a heavy price after the cancellation of the fight between Josh Barnett and Fedor. We did a lot of promotion for this fight, which in the end did not take place. That’s why as a promoter and manager, I don’t want this to happen ever again."

http://www.lowkickmma.com/UFC/m-1-g...r-says-hes-fully-concentrated-on-silva-11567/

Fact #10: Overeem fails a drug test in the UFC. Blames "aniti-inflammatory medication mixed with testosterone".

"I absolutely do not believe in, nor do I use performance-enhancing drugs. I am a clean fighter and I will do whatever it takes to prove this to everyone.

Prior to the UFC 146 press conference in March, I aggravated an old rib injury on my left side. My doctor prescribed, and I accepted, an anti-inflammatory medication that was mixed with testosterone. I was completely unaware that testosterone was one of the ingredients in the medication. Although I was unaware, I do realize it is my job to know what I am putting into my body"

http://www.sherdog.com/news/news/Al...es-Failed-Test-on-Prescribed-Medication-42123

Fedor's manager had previously called Overeem a "steroid bully", something that was seen by some people as nothing but an excuse not to fight Overeem.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

It wouldn't be a good fight for Fedor at this point. Overeem is still a top 10 or so fighter in the world. I think Overeem knocks him out early.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

As for the prime argument, prime Overeem was probably about 2015/2016 when he learned to manage his energy better and stopped crumbling when people fought back. Fedor was well past prime by then.

 

[HHJ]

Why are we bringing up fights we know aint gonna happen??

Also Overeem would be crazy to leave the UFC,with what they are paying him,just for one payday w Fedor. Overeem looks like he got 5 or 6 fights left in him. At almost 1 million each fight. Its not worth it to leave.

 

[MEAN357]

Maybe.

Overeems chin wasn't exactly indestructible tho lol

He lost to bigfoot, Browne and rothwell and won a dead even split decision against werdum when he was uber.

Ubereem could definitely win but it's just as likely a prime fedor cracks that chin

Dunno meng Ubereem was a fucking monster, bigger, stronger and just as skilled with height weight and reach advantage? I still think he woulda been the guy to take that 0 from fedor back in the day.

I used to be worried about that fight as a fedor fan lol honestly at that point in time I even disliked overeem cuz he was obviously juiced to the gills. reem deflated years later in UFC let alone after USADA. Meanwhile "prime for prime" fedor was getting all he could handle from Brett rogers.

Though I dont consider strikeforce fedor prime fedor ofc, but that was when reem was at his best and fedor was finally showing chin ks in his armor.

 

[HHJ]

I know people gonna say what they wanna say,but seriously,at the time Overeem was trying to fight Fedor,the reem hadnt done anything but crush cans at HW in mma. They wanted to wait until the reem did a little but more before they fought him. Thats just smart business.

 

[PlatinumColbyCovington]

A gust of wind could KO Overeem, let alone a jab from a Russian bear

So you think current fedor beats current overeem? You think the fedor that was getting all he could handle from Brett fucking Roger's would beat ubereem at peak juice?

Nope, just don't see it. But I know you fedor cultists cant take anything other than praises for your hero without a full fucking meltdown lol foh go enjoy your dubs

WAR FEDOR

and yes Fedor could have beaten the reem back at the time when he fought rogers. He just gotta land a clean hit and Overeem will wake up only to find that he has himself been banished to the Shadow Realm.
